Electrode performance of P′2-Na2/3[Mn1-xScx]O2 in sodium batteries

P′2-Na2/3MnO2 is one of the promising candidates of high-capacity positive electrode material showing >200 mAh g−1 for Na-ion batteries. However, it suffers capacity decay during electrochemical cycling. In this study, we used Sc3+ ions ([Ar]4s03d0) as a dopant for P′2-Na2/3MnO2 and successfully...

description P′2-Na2/3MnO2 is one of the promising candidates of high-capacity positive electrode material showing >200 mAh g−1 for Na-ion batteries. However, it suffers capacity decay during electrochemical cycling. In this study, we used Sc3+ ions ([Ar]4s03d0) as a dopant for P′2-Na2/3MnO2 and successfully synthesized series of doped materials, P′2-Na2/3[Mn1-xScx]O2. Electrochemical cycle stability of the Sc doped samples in Na cells is successfully improved by the doping without sacrificing reversible capacity. Since Sc3+ ion having no 3d-electrons can be partially substituted for Jahn-Teller active Mn3+ ions ([Ar]4s03d4), loss of the crystallinity over cycling is mitigated through suppressing the structural transformation including Na/vacancy ordering. The finding provides the insight to design the long-life layered cathode materials for Na-ion batteries.
